We did this painting in class. It is a painting of a piece of plastic human spine. I actually really enjoy this piece, even though I often don't enjoy india ink and other wet media. I'm sorry to say, but this piece is replacing my third shell drawing in my portfolio because I honestly did not like my third shell drawing. I enjoyed this piece so much I thought it would be much more fitting to include this piece of work instead of another that I do not like. I think the cross contours turned out rather well in this picture. Although, I could have made them less dark towards the bottom of the piece.
Honestly, somehow I produce some good pieces out of India Ink, I did a piece on a still life a few years back, and it's recently became one of my more favored pieces. I think this is probably taking the same route as that piece. Perhaps I need to delve into this interesting hypothesis further. I think that if I were to look into doing more india ink, it would expand my artistic abilities by giving me a challenge in a new medium that I don't often really use.
I'm sorry for not including my third shell drawing in this post, but I honestly am not very proud of how that shell drawing turned out, at all. I know we're supposed to add it with our Final portfolio, but I cannot in good conscience do that to myself as an artist, simply because of how poorly it turned out. As I stated before, I enjoy this piece a lot more, and thus will include it in my portfolio in place of the third shell drawing.
